Route
Beautiful rock climb in a superb setting which climbs through a section of the wall which has not yet been developed. In view of its relatively low grade and the excellent pro, Trial is already a classic "easy" outing.
Getting there
Take the A6 Savona-Torino, exit at Ceva and continue for Garessio-Ormea to reach Ponte di Nava. Leave the main road SS28 at this point and drive up the Alta Valle Tanaro to Viozene and park here. Access
Take the path from the church to Rifugio Mongioie. After 40 minutes reach this mountain hut and continue across the meadows to reach the bse of the wall (1.30 hours from the car). The route starts to the right of Nonno sprint, name written at the base. Itinerary
P1: 6a+
P2: 6b
P3: 6a
P4: 6a
P5: 6a
Note: halfway up P4 you can exit right, up "2 bottoni" Descent
Abseil 1: down the route, rightwards towards 2 bottoni to reach an independant abseil chain (45m)
Abseil 2: straight down 2 bottoni to reach its second belay on the lip of the roof (45m)
Abseil 3: down the void to reach the ground (50m) Gear
Entirely protected by 10mm bolts. Take two 55m ropes, 12 quickdraws. Notes
